Same here, its at 3.2 (4x800) with only a tiny bump in vcore, so under load, its 1.325.

what Motherboard do you have? My eVGA 680i-AR revision has so many FSB holes with my quad it isn't funny. With a quick tweak session, I could only get it to boot at 2.7GHz (300*9)

what are thermals like on your cpu with the thermalright? I've heard many people had to lap theirs to get the extreme cooling that they are known for.

well, right now, due to motherboard limitations, I'm clocked at 2.64GHz.
My Thermalright Ultra120 (not eXtreme) is NOT lapped YET, and neither is my Q6600.
Right now, I'm running at about 43/40/42/38C at idle, and 67/64/67/63 on Prime95 v25.2 load (four threads) in 20C ambients.

I dunno, its an old one I got from Duvie... Running 3.2 (case closed) 100% all 4 cores@65c. I haven;t even tried for more, time to hit the sack... I just tried it, it worked, and I am happy for now. Ninja Sythe cooling,

I just installed one of the $300 Q6600's from Fry's in a DS3 V 1 - F4 BIOS - and it's doing 3.2 at default 1.26 v ..

Quad is good .. :D
